- "Samba Pa Ti" is one of the beautifully melodic instrumentals by Carlos Santana that sparked my passion for guitar playing in the mid-1980s. The piece came out in 1970 on the Santana album "Abraxas", but I only got to know it many years later. But I was really overwhelmed by the TV broadcast of a concert by Carlos Santana and his band, which took place on April 6, 1987 in the "Palast der Republik" in former East Berlin. It was phenomenal and it still is for me. But the version I played here is completely acoustic, which makes the lead guitar playing with thick strings (D'Addario 012-053 phosphor bronze) an absolute finger-breaker song. Ouch! I played the accompaniment under the first part of the piece shortly beforehand on my Maton with a few chords and an additional bass line in my loop station. As you can see, the accompaniment for the second part is created directly and live in the middle of the song. Since you can only record something new with my loop station (Boss RC-1) if you first delete the old one, the take had to work completely the first time, since the previously recorded accompaniment was then deleted again. I can tell you: Unfortunately, it only worked the second time! Sigh! But I'm very happy with it because, as always, there is no editing or post-processing in the video! Just live! I hope you like it!? This video is number 47 in my UA-cam series "A Couple Of Songs I Wish I Had Written Myself" and I play it the same way I usually do "live on stage". Have fun watching!

►Andreas Geffarth:
Hi! I'm a German singer, guitarist and songwriter and I love music and my life as a musician. After 35 years of making music in front of a live audience, it wasn't until January 2022 that I had the thought of being also able to share my music online with people all over the world; what a great and exciting idea! And so I now publish new self-made videos with songs from my repertoire on my UA-cam channel every week. Learn more about me on my website andreas-geffarth.de

So clean. Outstanding
Die beste Adventsmusik die ich je gehört habe und "handwerklich" ganz großes Kino. Liebe Grüße aus Rostock
☺️👍🏼
Habe lieben Dank für deine feinen kleinen Konzerte.🥰
„Feine kleine Konzerte“? 🤔 Stimmt! 😃 So hab‘ ich das ja noch gar nicht gesehen! Dankeschön! 😎
This is my favorite Carlos song. I love what you did to it. You are an A rtist Supreme!!! Thank you Brother! ❤️🔥🎸🎶
Hey... thank you very much for your super-nice comment! 😃 I'm really happy that you like my video so much! 😎
I'm also really proud myself that I managed to do the video in one take and you know what, I succeeded on the second try! 🤓 I absolutely had to succeed because the preparatory work was very time-consuming and my fingers wouldn't have been able to do it again! Ouch! 😅
I recorded the accompaniment to the first part of the song myself beforehand, but only on my very simple "BOSS RC-1 Loop Station", which I also work with live on stage. So I first recorded the guitar chords with my acoustic guitar and then overdubbed the bass line with the acoustic guitar. Then I started the video recording and played the melody to the loop station accompaniment. But in order to create and record the second part with all the percussions etc. (so-called live looping), I had to delete the previous recording of the accompaniment to the first part of the song and then record everything else with the loop station. If I had made a mistake, I would have had to start the entire job all over again! 😝🤪
So all I had in my head was: "Andreas, you can do it... keep going until the end!!!" 😄 Unfortunately there was one wrong note almost at the end, but I didn't care and uploaded the video anyway. After all, I am a human being and not a machine! That's why I can make mistakes sometimes... that's human.
By the way, a few weeks ago I uploaded a very old video of myself playing "Samba Pa Ti" as a 19-year-old avid Santana fan with my band and on the electric guitar in 1991. Please take a look at and tell me what you think! 😃 This is the link:

Immer wieder beeindruckt 👏🏻

Сегодня впервые познакомился с вашим творчеством. Великолепно! Я впечатлен. Россия.❤
Приветствую вас из России и благодарю вас за приятный комментарий! 😃👍🏼 Мне очень приятно похвале! 😊 Кстати, ровно 10 лет назад я был на нескольких концертах в России... это было в Екатеринбурге и Челябинске. 🤓 На UA-cam также есть несколько видеороликов... вот в этом плейлисте: ua-cam.com/play/PLh6tFdezLUoQM-WyH93_l8w2hjNbCKo76.html&si=8DqQunpUpkskz_fO 😎 С уважением, Андреас 🙋🏽♂️
Ich bewundere immer wieder Deine Fähigkeit all diese Songs auf einer akustischen Gitarre zu spielen und zu interpretieren. Da schleicht etwas Neid mit... Dennoch: DANKE!
Ich hab‘ einfach seit vielen Jahren gar keine E-Gitarre mehr und deshalb muss es die Akustik-Gitarre sein, auch wenn mir bei solch dicken Saiten (0.12-0.53 Phosphor-Bronze) stets die Finger „bluten“… gefühlt innen wie außen! Aua! 🤲🏼😬😝😅 Also… sei lieber nicht neidisch! 😜
Steht auf meiner Liste mit den Songs, die ich unbedingt noch auf Gitarre lernen möchte^^.
Empfehlung von mir: Unbedingt originalgetreu auf E-Gitarre lernen, weil auf Akustikgitarre isses ein Fingerbrecher-Song! 😅
Sounds amazing!
Nice.
👍🏼😊
Just read your comment,I will do my best, you always seem to have good days when you play, I think sorry is a word we use for no reason at all sometimes, just here in my town, just habit I guess,get back to you soon,have a great day, Valerie ☘️🌞💃
Thanks and… have a great day too! 😎
Ich finde es immer doof, wenn ein Gitarrist ein Stück spielt und dann im Hintergrund eine weitere Gitarre mitspielt und es so den Anschein hat, als ob der Gitarrist das alles zusammenspielt. Als Gitarrenanfänger sind solche Darbietungen nicht hilfreich…
Lieber Nachdenker, vielen Dank für Deine konstruktive und berechtigte Kritik! Bevor Du aber über das Video urteilst, lies doch bitte auch die Video-Beschreibung durch, denn da habe ich die gesamte Aufnahme auch noch erklärt! 🤗 Ich freu‘ mich auf ein weiteres Feedback auf die Beschreibung! 😃 Vielen Dank und liebe Grüße vom Andreas 🙋🏽♂️
